Torres Vina Sol DO Catalunya

Description

Torres Vina Sol is a wine white from the Cataluyna DO. The origin of this wine dates back to the registration of the SOL brand in 1907, on the same day as Torres’ famous Gran Coronas was registered.

Familia Torres Wines has been making wine in the ancient Catalán town of Vilafranca del Penedès, southwest of Barcelona, since the 17th Century. It is this tradition combined with innovation, dynamism and commitment to quality that has put Torres firmly on the world map. They remain one of the largest family-owned and run wine companies in the world (there is also Miguel Torres Chile and Marimar Torres in California) and, under the stewardship of fourth-generation Miguel Torres they are committed to sustainable viticulture and green practices. Today Torres not only have vineyards in their home region of Penedes, but all over Spain in regions such as Priorat, Rioja and Rueda. In 2006 Torres was awarded European Winery of the Year in Wine Enthusiast’s Annual Wine Star Awards. The Torres family is also one of the founding members of Primum Familiae Vini.

Torres Vina Sol, as we know it today, was born in 1962 when Miguel Torres produced a small amount of the Parellada variety in the hills of the Upper Penedès. Made from Parellada, a traditional white grape and some Garanacha, Viña Sol is vinified in stainless steel and has a distinctive fresh fruitiness.

Torres Vina Sol is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.
